Product Details
Gold Panda coins are one of the only bullion coins to feature a yearly changing design. In 2016, this series changed to match the metric system. The 1 oz Gold Panda was replaced with this 30 gram Gold Panda, still containing .999 fine Gold.

The Gold Pandas were first minted in 1982 in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz coins. In 1983, they introduced the 1/20 oz sized coins. Some years also include 5 oz and 12 oz Gold coins. In 2016, The People’s Republic of China began minting Gold Pandas in the metric system sizes to better suit the international appeal of the coins. Each year, the design of the panda changes making them highly collectible. The only year they did not change design was 2002, which used the same design as 2001. Collectors spoke up about this halt in the design changes, and the annual design changes resumed in 2003.

The People’s Republic of China issues and guarantees the quality of each Gold Panda coin. Gold Panda coins are minted from several mints each year. Those mints include but are not limited to Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Shenyang. Unlike the U.S. Mint, these Chinese Mints do not incorporate mintmarks to distinguish the difference between each mint every year. Some years such as 1987 do feature a “Y” mintmark or “S” mintmark. The mints are also known for having minor differences in the design of the coin such as font size, small date, large date and designs of the temple in certain year’s mintages. With the annual change in design, and unique mint variations, the price of Gold Pandas has appreciated over time making them highly sought after by collectors and investors.

To add to their collectibility, the People’s Republic of China issues specialty designed Gold Panda coins for coin expositions. These designs usually feature similar panda designs with extra scrollwork or other design enhancing features along with the expositions name and variations in the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests designs. These coins tend to be an exclusive purchase at the event, but can sometimes be found to purchase by the public.

The Beauty of the Panda Gold Coin

Building new popularity and gaining more collectors each year for more than three decades, the 30 gram Panda Gold coin is now highly desired across all continents. First released in 1982, this bullion coin is made from .999 fine Gold, adding true investment value to an already breathtaking coin. The design on the obverse of each Gold Panda coin is only used for one year, with new, exclusive artwork introduced annually. While the artwork typically represents a beguiling giant panda surrounded by bamboo shoots, new scenes are constructed each year. Some are more playful, while others show the elegant beauty these bears are known for. Early in this series, the designs were simple and sometimes childlike, but recent artwork captures more natural detailing and refinement.

Chinese Gold Coins as an Investment

The obverse features the same design each year, showing the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the Temple of Heaven, located in Beijing. Each Gold Panda coin contains 30 grams of Gold bullion, which is slightly less than a troy ounce. This characteristic is unusual in the coin world since no other bullion coin is weighted using the metric system. In addition to the melt value of the Gold, each 2019 Panda coin has a legal tender value of 500 Chinese Yuan.

The 2019 Gold Panda coin is minted with a metric weight, setting it apart from all other bullion coins in the world.

The Legacy of Gold Panda Coins in China

The most popular and well-known feature of the Gold Panda coins is the use of new panda artwork each year. Briefly, in 2002, the Chinese mint duplicated the 2001 artwork, but public outcry caused them to return to annual design updates. While the People’s Republic of China mints several weights, the 30 gram Panda coin is by far the most popular. The metric weighting system was implemented in 2016 to try and give the coins more international appeal.

The Chinese government guarantees the quality of this series, giving investors an extra layer of security in their purchase. Gold Panda coins are struck at four different mint locations each year, including Shenyang, Beijing, Shenzhen and the original Shanghai location. Absent from these coins, however, is any mintmark to help collectors determine the minting location. Instead, owners must pay attention to subtle design details, such as text size and image variations, to determine where it was minted. Many collectors look to differences in the temple artwork to decipher the origin, as well.

Panda Chinese Gold Coins and Their Value to Investors

Because of increased global demand in recent years, it has become much harder to purchase Panda Chinese Gold coins from outside the home country. When buying China Gold Pandas, like any other bullion coin, the condition is of the utmost importance. These 2019 Chinese Gold Pandas carry the Brilliant Uncirculated designation, with protective packaging that maintains the original luster and finish. This designation contributes to the added collectible worth, above and beyond the melt value of the Precious Metal. From the limited mintage to the highly collectible panda depictions, these coins have a history of being a strong investment.
